PINGKOOutdoor Multi-Function Portable Sport Pedometer Step/Distance/Calories/Counter - Green

Upon unboxing I noticed large values under steps, calories, km, etc. I was unable to reset the unit back to zero. I also noticed a rattle suggesting some piece came loose inside the unit. I was also unable to switch from km to miles while using the instructions provided in the item description video. Returned to Amazon. Don’t order a green device, you might get this one!UPDATE: I received my new unit. Turns out there is supposed to be a loose part. I suppose that part measures the steps. However, the instructions don’t show how to adjust the stride length to a lower value, I only seem to be able to raise it from the preset 30” and can’t seem to lower it to my stride length of 15”. Everything else is working fine with my new unit. I will try to get a hold of the seller and hopefully I’ll be eventually be able to adjust my stride length which is important in accurately counting my number of steps.

I wanted to use this to track my steps on my desk treadmill as well as when I go on walks. I sometimes don't like to carry my phone on my person all the time, and this helps me keep track of my daily activities. I do notice the 'ticking' sound it makes when it's clipped to you and you're moving about. I personally don't find it very distracting, but this factor could be make or break for some definitely take note! If you are just trying to track your steps without your smart phone, this is perfect for that purpose!

To start, I was looking for a pedometer that did not require a smartphone app, that was not a watch, and didn't break the bank, particularly if it fell off my jeans and I didn't see it to retrieve it.The features of pedometer, calorie counter, distance walked (miles or km), and time clock are all very helpful and seem to do well. I compared it against a fitness wrist watch, (Fitbit of some sort I had borrowed) and it seems to be more accurate than the Fitbit. The Fitbit depends on arm motions to count steps, which means that the Fitbit may not count when your arms are stable pushing a cart/stroller, but the Fitbit may also count in error when you are standing relatively in one position (such as bagging groceries and primarily rotating at the waist, or working at an office table collating papers).I came to rely on the accuracy of my pedometer moreso than the Fitbit watch and the pedometer seemed to count my steps well. I came to appreciate the time clock feature as I normally don't wear a watch at work (I find myself working in a lot of water, sometimes with chemicals/cleaners/dirt). I was also able to earn steps for short walks that the Fitbit didn't always measure, like returning items close by to proper shelves.I did have a couple of issues with the pedometer resetting unexpectedly when I leaned against counters (moving to scan or bag groceries, for instance). I was sad that I lost the steps but I made some adjustments to how I wore it (waistband position) and checked on it more frequently to keep closer track of steps walked (in case it reset) and that seemed to help.About 3 weeks into using it I tried to tilt it up on my waistband to read it, as I had done many times before, and ended up snapping the clip and losing a couple of spring-type pieces that helped it clip (probably - I was in a dark environment at the time and relied on streetlights to find what parts I could). That was disappointing but ultimately my fault / mishap.I thought perhaps I would get an "upgrade" to a pedometer with cover, as I have seen them before. However, all the pedometers with covers I've found so far either didn't have the features of the Pingko (steps taken, calories burned, distance covered, time clock, which I had begun to appreciate); and/or weren't in my budget, and/or didn't have a lot of favorable reviews. So, I ended up buying a second Pingko pedometer, and we'll see how long the second one lasts before it has a permanent mishap.P.S. The Pingko had fallen off my waistband a few times prior, usually onto a hard concrete floor (from a height of about 33 inches) -- and made it just fine (still working). It was simply the way I tilted it that night, I think, that broke the clip.In conclusion - I am impressed with the features, the price point, the seeming accuracy, and -- gosh darn it absolutely -- the fact that I do not need a mobile app or a smartphone to use this. Whoo hoo! So I am buying another for now and then we'll reevaluate when needed.

La marche. Le podometre ne se ferme pas lorsqu il est hors d usage

I purchased 5 of these (accidently) and 1 i am totally unable to switch from km to miles. the other 4, wearimg al at the same time,. produce 4 different numbers with a wide range of what they produce and I don't understand why.
